About This Item
Leipzig: J.C. Hinrichs. , 1902. First Edition (& 1st printing). First edition. Octavo, bound in marbled paper boards with cloth spine, gilt titles. 140 pp. Some pencil marks to the margins, bookplate (depicting the Indian God Ganesh) of Louis Herbert Gray on front paste-down. This copy came to us from the library of Dr. Charles Muses. Some mild rubbing to binding; a very good copy. A very rare and important work in the history of linguistics.
¶ Knudtzon, a Norwegian linguist and historian, in this book recognizes the Hittite language as Indo-European on the basis of two letters (The zwei Arzawa-Briefe) found in Egypt. He later published The Amarna Letters, diplomatic correspondence of the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaten, in 1907 and 1915.
